A Rollover Study for Subjects Participating in the Control Arm of Study VX06-950-106, VX05-950-104 and VX05-950-104EU Whose Plasma Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Levels Did Not Respond to Therapy

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government.

To provide access to a telaprevir-based treatment to subjects of the Control Group of Study VX06-950-106 (NCT00420784), VX05-950-104 (NCT00336479), and VX05-950-104EU (NCT00372385) who stopped treatment due to inadequate response to treatment. Safety, tolerability, and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) levels will be collected.

A Phase 2 Rollover Protocol of Telaprevir (VX-950) in Combination With Peginterferon Alfa-2a (Pegasys®) and Ribavirin (Copegus®) in Subjects Enrolled in the Control Group (Group A) of Study VX06-950-106, VX05-950-104 and VX05-950-104EU Who Did Not Achieve or Maintain an Undetectable HCV RNA Level Through Sustained Viral Response

Percentage of Subjects With Undetectable Plasma Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) at Week 24 After the Completion of Treatment [ Time Frame: 24 weeks after the completion of treatment (up to Week 72) ]

The plasma HCV RNA level was measured using Roche TaqMan HCV RNA assay. The lower limit of detection was 10 international units per milliliter (IU/mL).

Number of Subjects With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline through Week 48 ]

AE: any adverse change from the subject's baseline (pre-treatment) condition, including any adverse experience, abnormal recording or clinical laboratory assessment value which occurs during the course of the study, whether it is considered related to the study drug or not. An adverse event includes any newly occurring event or previous condition that has increased in severity or frequency since the administration of study drug. SAE: medical event or condition, which falls into any of the following categories, regardless of its relationship to the study drug: death, life threatening adverse experience, in-patient hospitalization/prolongation of hospitalization, persistent/significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical event. "Study drug" includes all investigational agents (including placebo, if applicable) administered during the course of the study.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

Percentage of Prior Relapsers With Undetectable HCV RNA [ Time Frame: 24 weeks after the completion of treatment (up to Week 72) ]

Prior relapsers: subjects who had undetectable HCV RNA at the end of treatment in parent study but reverted to detectable levels of HCV RNA after stopping treatment in parent study were categorized as prior relapsers. Percentage of prior relapsers with undetectable HCV RNA 24 weeks after the completion of treatment in this study were presented. The plasma HCV RNA level was measured using Roche TaqMan HCV RNA assay. The lower limit of detection was 10 international units per milliliter (IU/mL).

Percentage of Subjects With End of Treatment Response [ Time Frame: End of treatment (up to Week 48) ]

Subjects were considered to have an end of treatment response if they completed the assigned treatment regimen and had undetectable HCV RNA at end of treatment or prematurely discontinued the assigned treatment regimen and had undetectable HCV RNA at the time of discontinuation. The plasma HCV RNA level was measured using Roche TaqMan HCV RNA assay. The lower limit of detection was 10 international units per milliliter (IU/mL).

Percentage of Subjects With Undetectable HCV RNA at Week 48 After Completion of Treatment Among Subjects Who Completed Assigned Treatment [ Time Frame: 48 weeks after completion of treatment (up to Week 96) ]

The plasma HCV RNA level was measured using Roche TaqMan HCV RNA assay. The lower limit of detection was 10 international units per milliliter (IU/mL).
